Hi @Florian ! I just purchased the Mac version about a week ago and I have to say, this is amazing software. I already have tons of action groups for various tasks. I'll be using this for a very long time.

I do have one request though. It would be really useful if the vertical scroll position could be retained after doing a search. I often scroll down a list of songs and find a song with an error. I then want to do some searches to see if there are any similar errors (to fix all at once). When I'm done I cancel the search. However, I then end up back at the top of the full list. I'd like to be able to continue where I left off in the list. I hope this makes sense.

Do you think this would be possible? (It could always be an option in settings.)

> Hello. I often find a specific file in my large collection by entering a filter in the filter bar, then selecting the file in the main window. Once I've located the file, I'd like to keep that file selected and return to the list of the entire collection. But when I clear the filter, my selection disappears and the list jumps back to the top, so that I can no longer find the file I had selected. Is there a way I can find a file without using the filter bar? Or is there a way I can have Mp3tag r…
